Oregon Blog Buzz

Starting today at Oregon CEC, you can tune in on Monday for a weekly post (if there is news), Blog Buzz, which will highlight what is happening in special education throughout the state from the perspective of other bloggers.  Enjoy the inaugural edition!

• Kristy shares her Philosophy of Special Education on her blog, To Teach is to Grow.  She hits the nail on the head when she says “the future of special education is emerging now,” and points to Response to Intervention (RTI) as a key component to effectively providing services to students with disabilities.

• Steve Rawley, father of two students in the Portland Public School District, is the publisher and editor of PPS Equity.  In a recent post he highlights The Autism Association of Oregon (ASO) upcoming presentation by Peter Wright of Wrightslaw in a one day special education law and advocacy training conference October 29 in Portland. Details of the program and online registration are available at the ASO Web site.
